00:01Crisis averted.
00:04Sorry I had to step out and leave you waiting like that.
00:07But I'm glad you stayed.
00:09Yeah, I know you're busy. I probably should have called.
00:11You never have to call.
00:13You got my full attention.
00:15What's going on?
00:17I got a surprise visit from Dr. Yannan.
00:21And he and I finally had it out.
00:24No, no, no. Dynamic carbon pricing is built into the quote.
00:28Yes. Okay, get back to me.
00:36Carbon pricing, you are singing my song, baby.
00:39And I think you're sitting in my chair.
00:41Oh my gosh. There you are. There you are. There you are.
00:45Hi. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:50You can study the menu to your heart's content
00:52after you tell about your reunion with Maxi.
00:55Well, despite taking place in a graveyard,
00:58I think it went pretty well.
00:59She must have been thrilled to see you again.
01:02Yeah, she was. I felt the same.
01:05Oh.
01:07And have you made plans for your next rendezvous yet?
01:10Preferably outside of the cemetery.
01:13Um...
01:14No.
01:15Why not?
01:17Because it's over between us.
01:25Thank you so much for being here, both of you.
01:28And Will, I really appreciate you giving me
01:31your first one-on-one interview as Congresswoman.
01:33I'm a little nervous.
01:35Is it okay to admit that?
01:37Most people are.
01:38You're just honest enough to admit it.
01:40But you don't need to be.
01:41I'll go easy on you.
01:42And I'm right here if you need me.
01:44Shall we get to it?
01:46Mind if I record?
01:48No. Go ahead.
01:53First, let me offer my congratulations to you, Congresswoman.
01:58Stepping into your husband's seat is a huge career change for you.
02:01Thank you. It sure is.
02:03Whose idea was it?
02:06Pascal said you wanted to see me.
02:10See those peers?
02:13They used to belong to Sonny.
02:15Now they belong to us.
02:17And it's only the beginning.
02:20Of what?
02:22Of avenging your mother's death.
02:25I know you doubted my commitment to making Sonny pay.
02:28But we're seconds away from putting a final nail in his coffin.
02:35Hi.
02:36I got your text.
02:37What's with all those stop signs and telephone emojis?
02:39It's code for emergency.
02:41It's a really confusing code.
02:42You said you'd get me access to my medication at Windermere.
02:45Have you made any progress?
02:47Of course I saw the press conference.
02:51I had no idea that they were going to offer that seat to Willow of all people.
02:55It's insane.
02:57And Mayor Collins.
02:59She just kept me in the dark.
03:06You spoke with Isaiah.
03:10How bad was it?
03:13It got a little intense.
03:15Honey, I'm so sorry.
03:17He never ever should have confronted you.
03:20I hope you don't think that I asked him to do something like that because I would never.
03:24No, no, no, no. Not at all.
03:25And he made that very clear.
03:27Honey, the last thing that I would want is for the two of you to be in a fight.
03:33Mom, it wasn't like that.
03:36Dr. Gannon told me some hard truths that I didn't want to hear.
03:44And I was ready to feel some type of way about it.
03:48But what he said, I need to hear it.
03:53Because it made me realize that I owe you an apology.
03:59Okay, let me look at you.
04:00You look absolutely gorgeous.
04:02I've had a lot of beauty rest.
04:03Okay, I'm so sorry that I missed your homecoming party.
04:06But you know all this.
04:07So tell me, how was it?
04:09It was great.
04:09But having people, like, watch me all day and fawn over me, like, it got old really quick.
04:15So I am desperate to dive into work.
04:18That's why I came into the office.
04:19What's going on?
04:20Oh, okay.
04:21Do you know what I think we should do?
04:22We should go to the MetroCart restaurant and have champagne, you know?
04:25That's not necessary.
04:26Oh, yeah, it really is.
04:28I mean, we have a lot more to talk about than just deception.
04:31You know, really, we've got to talk about Nathan.
04:32What did you feel when you saw him?
04:34I mean, did you see him?
04:34Did you talk to him?
04:35What did you say?
04:35Lucy, you are desperately trying to distract me from work.
04:41What are you hiding?
04:43Maxi's decided to stay with Spinelli.
04:46That's ridiculous.
04:50After a coma, people often experience a confusional state.
04:55It will improve over time.
04:57Right now, she's still hazy.
04:59She's so pretty clear-headed to me.
05:01She said that she'll always love me.
05:03But Spinelli has her heart.
05:05And how did you respond?
05:07I said that I'd always love her.
05:09And I wished her well.
05:10That's it?
05:11Doomkopf?
05:12Why didn't you fight for her?
05:15You know, I can't remember who first approached me about taking Drew's seat.
05:21It was probably someone on his staff.
05:25I'm just thankful that Governor Mendez approved.
05:28Once you're sworn in, what policies will be a priority for you?
05:32I still need to finish familiarizing myself with all the issues.
05:37Did Congressman Cain ever discuss those most important to him with you?
05:41Of course.
05:42Willow's top priority will always be her constituents.
05:45First and foremost, I believe that we're going to ask for federal funding in a number of areas, such as
05:53infrastructure, housing, education.
05:57Isn't that right, Willow?
06:00Suzanne, I gotta go. I'll call you back.
06:03Alexis, it was never my intention to blindside you like that.
06:06Is it okay if we don't do this right now?
06:08I'm sure you have a very reasonable explanation, but I'm just not in the mood to hear it.
06:13Uh, yes. I mean, absolutely. We can talk another time, sure.
06:18Yeah, thanks.
06:20You know what? You know what?
06:22Actually, I would like to hear, why on earth you didn't give me a heads up?
06:28I've searched for your meds, but I haven't found them yet.
06:31Why don't you ask Marco? He probably knows where Colin has them stashed.
06:34I haven't told Marco that I'm helping you yet.
06:37It's probably for the best. He can't be trusted.
06:40I just need more time, Britt. But I will get them for you.
06:43It's the only way you'll be free of Colin and Sidwell.
06:46Hopefully.
06:48You know what? Instead of you bumping around Windermere,
06:51I think I've figured out another way for me to get my hands on those meds.
06:56Nope. I am not hiding anything.
07:00Uh-huh.
07:01You know, the longer you hide something from me, the more I'm gonna worry.
07:06And all of that anxiety could, you know, cause me a medical relapse.
07:10Really? That, that could actually happen?
07:12Well, I mean, I can't make you talk.
07:14If you're willing to risk it.
07:16No! No, no. Okay.
07:18Look.
07:20Deception had a teensy, weensy problem.
07:23When you collapsed on live television, it really shook up our customers.
07:29Okay. That doesn't sound teensy or weensy. How bad was it?
07:33Okay. You might as well just...
07:38Judge for yourself.
07:42Uh, okay. I, I hope my kids didn't see that.
07:46I'm sorry. They probably did cause it, it did go viral.
07:50I'm sure that was bad for my family.
07:53Yeah, pretty horrible.
07:54And, uh, it was really horrible for the company too.
07:58Why are you being so damn noble?
08:00If you won't fight for your own sake, then do it for James.
08:03He wants his parents together.
08:05If you're any kind of father, you'll fight to give him the family he deserves.
08:07Leave James out of this.
08:09How dare you insinuate that I am neglecting my son.
08:13And who the hell are you to judge anybody's parenting skills?
08:16I'm sorry.
08:18I just can't let you break your own heart.
08:20I'm sorry that I got so hot.
08:25I'm just, I'm not gonna discuss this anymore.
08:30You have my attention.
08:32What's your plan?
08:40Sodium pentothal.
08:42When it's Pascal's turn to administer my meds,
08:45I'll knock him out with a shot of his own.
08:47I'd try it on Colm or Marco, but I'm afraid they'd overpower me.
08:52Colm and Sidwell will do everything they can to track you down.
08:55That is too risky.
08:55It's a risk I have to take.
08:56No, it's not.
08:58I will come through for you.
08:59I promise.
09:00You just have to be patient a little bit longer.
09:03And put this away.
09:05As much as I'd love to stick it to Pascal,
09:07I don't love the idea of you running around with sodium pentothal.
09:10It's a recipe for disaster.
09:13Oh, I love a brisk day.
09:15The blood awakens, the mind soars.
09:18Oh, have you heard?
09:20Willow Kane is tapped to serve out her husband's term in Congress.
09:24What about Alexis?
09:26Everyone at the office thought it would be her, including Alexis.
09:30Yes, Ezra told me that Alexis was Laura's choice, but I wanted Willow, so...
09:35With all due respect, how does that get us any closer to making Sunny pay?
09:40Well, thanks to me, Willow is now in a position of authority.
09:44And I suspect that she will relish using a bit of power that doesn't come from her current or former
09:50husband.
09:51And how does Willow's recently bestowed power relate to Sunny?
09:57Mrs. Kane was married to Sunny's son, who she hates.
10:01So, maybe she will use her newfound political agency and influence to get the FBI to look into his father's
10:12illegal activities.
10:14Will you be serving on any of Drew's previous committees? Have you heard from any of the members?
10:20Prior to my announcement, a few did reach out to express their sympathies about Drew.
10:26And as for the committees Drew sat on, I... I'm not sure yet.
10:32We're gonna have to weigh our options, and once we do, we will get back to you.
10:37I've noticed you've been saying we a lot.
10:40Do you plan on taking an active role as your daughter navigates the scene in DC?
10:44Uh, I... I'm happy to lend my guidance and support to Willow whenever it's needed,
10:50but my daughter is a very capable young woman, and I have every confidence that she is gonna be incredible
10:57all on her own.
10:58So, on that note, it's probably best that I step aside so you can hear more directly from Willow.
11:05You don't have to go.
11:06Don't worry. You got this.
11:13I tried to warn you, Alexis. I texted you, and I asked you to call me.
11:19I didn't get a text. I... I did text...
11:25Okay, I did. I'm sorry I missed it.
11:27But didn't... Don't you think that it merited a phone call, at least?
11:31I didn't find out that it was gonna be Willow myself until, like, I don't know, like, 15 minutes before
11:36the press conference.
11:37I just wish that it wasn't something that I actually hoped for.
11:41I told my children, I told my friends, and then it's Willow, of all people?
11:46I mean, honestly, it's just humiliating.
11:48I'm so sorry.
11:50Really, I feel awful about this. I...
11:53Can you ever forgive me?
11:56Mom, I'm so sorry for the way that I've treated you.
12:01I've been unfair.
12:04Honey, you had every right to be angry with me.
12:07No. No. That...
12:08That is no excuse for the way that I've lashed out.
12:12And Dr. Gannon pointed out that I've...
12:15I've been judgmental.
12:17And I keep punishing you.
12:19And I don't want you to be unhappy and alone.
12:21I don't want to hurt you.
12:23I know that, sweetheart.
12:25You asked me during the snowstorm if I can love someone who's disappointed me.
12:32And my answer is yes.
12:34Because I love you, Mom.
12:36I love you so much.
12:37I love you too, sweetheart.
12:41Honey.
12:47Of course, I'm gonna forgive you, Laura. Just give me a minute.
12:53If it was up to me, you'd be on your way to Washington right now.
12:58Well, Governor Mendez had some other thoughts.
13:01Yeah, well, I don't think that the decision was, um...
13:07It wasn't based on ability.
13:09You think?
13:14Listen, I know that this isn't the first time that a vacancy was filled by a spouse.
13:20Willow?
13:22Willow?
13:22I mean, obviously, the governor didn't want anyone smart enough to question his authority.
13:28Yeah.
13:29I just hope that Willow can maintain enough of a sense of independence that she can't be bullied into carrying
13:35out someone else's agenda.
13:37Yeah.
13:38I wouldn't worry about Willow Kane.
13:41She's not a pushover.
13:43Behind that gentle, caretaking demeanor is a young woman who is surprisingly resourceful.
13:54How do you really feel about taking on this new role?
14:00Aside from being completely blindsided by the offer, my first impulse was to say no.
14:09But then a lot of people, most notably my mother, helped me to realize that this was an incredible opportunity
14:16to do some good for my community.
14:20And honor my husband.
14:22And as an added bonus, I get to be a positive role model for my children.
14:29I've made some very public mistakes this last year, and this is my chance to make them proud, to tackle
14:39a difficult job and do it well.
14:41So even though I'm coming into this role as a result of unfortunate circumstances, I hope to make this a
14:47positive experience for myself and for my family.
14:54It goes clear.
14:57If you're referring to your mother, yes, she left a bit ago.
15:01Yeah, I am. I feel bad for ditching her, but I needed some air.
15:05Pushing me pretty hard to reunite with Maxie, and things got a little tense.
15:11Well, are you two getting back together?
15:13No. No, Maxie wants to stay with Spinelli.
15:16Oh, I see.
15:19Well, how does that make you feel?
15:21Look, I'll always love Maxie the way that she'll always love me, and I want her to be happy, and
15:26I hope that she is with Spinelli.
15:28And now you're free to pursue things with Lulu.
15:31Is that such a bad thing?
15:33I don't know, brother.
15:35You might want to just reconsider.
15:40Look, we really did issue disclaimer after disclaimer, trying to make sure people knew that, you know, our face cream
15:46wasn't really connected to your medical condition, but it was too late.
15:51What people had seen on TV, they'd seen on TV and online, and our Youth Truth line, along with all
15:58our other products, kind of became radioactive.
16:01And our sales cratered, and so did our stocks.
16:03What were the numbers?
16:05Okay, I'll just show you that too.
16:08Okay.
16:08Okay.
16:09Here, look.
16:10Uh, wait, let me, there.
16:13Alright, um, see?
16:16The dip?
16:17The steep decline?
16:19That was kind of a market correction?
16:22Lucy, that is not a market correction.
16:25That is bankruptcy.
16:26How are we still in business?
16:28Well, we did go into crisis mode, and Desperate Times called for desperate measures.
16:32Okay, I, I know this is when you did something, just tell me what it was that you did.
16:35Well, as fortune would have it, actually, I didn't do anything.
16:39Didn't have to.
16:40Um, a guardian angel stepped in to bail us out.
16:46Okay.
16:48Who is this guardian angel, exactly?
16:52Sonny has been the target of FBI investigations for years.
16:56And yet, he manages to slip through their fingers all the time.
16:59No, not this time.
17:01If he tries to defend himself, I'll take down his good friend, Laura Collins.
17:04Is it really wise to have the FBI sniffing around Port Charles right now?
17:08Given our own activities?
17:12You know what we'll do?
17:13We'll finish our project here, and then we'll have Willow, boom, bring the FBI down on Sonny.
17:19You're still counting on Britt being done in May or June?
17:22Yeah, well, she's ready to start building the prototype.
17:25There's no guarantee that a prototype will work the first time around.
17:28In fact, they frequently don't.
17:32Well, then, Dr. Westbourne better make sure ours does.
17:35I mean, after all, our life depends on it.
17:42We're running out of time.
17:44I know you want to help, but you don't understand, okay?
17:47We've reached the final phase of the project.
17:49Once it's completed, I become expendable.
17:52Then I need to work faster.
17:54Which means I need to enlist some help.
17:57From whom?
17:59I'll be in touch.
18:00Lucas, wait!
18:01Lucas!
18:05I want you to live your own life, Mom.
18:09One that makes you happy.
18:12And I just have to trust that the choices you make will do that for you.
18:17Normally, isn't it the parent that's supposed to be learning these things about their child?
18:24Well, you and I don't do normal.
18:27And I wouldn't have it any other way.
18:37This is how I thought it was going to be, you know?
18:40The two of us collaborating on policy over friendly cups of coffee.
18:47We just could have done so much good.
18:49I know.
18:50I know.
18:51But you haven't seen me when I've had too much caffeine.
18:54There's yelling.
18:55Things get broken.
18:57That's because you're passionate.
18:59I admire that about you.
19:02And I admire that about you, too.
19:04Thanks.
19:08You know, Alexis, you were, you are the best person for this position.
19:17I don't regret recommending you.
19:21But I deeply regret building up your hopes.
19:25You know, a scout is a priority to me.
19:28And I was already stressing out about dividing my time.
19:31So I think maybe everything just worked out for the best.
19:34Do you really believe that?
19:36I'm just going to keep saying that until I do.
19:40Cheers.
19:42It doesn't mean that your feelings for Maxie are resolved just because she's not an option anymore.
19:47I think that you should just take some time to heal before jumping into something new.
19:53It takes some time.
19:54Our marriage has been over for seven years.
19:56Maxie's moved on.
19:57I'm free to do the same.
19:58I'm just worried that you are rushing into things.
20:02I'm rushing into anything.
20:03You were the one who told me to trust my heart.
20:04You remember that?
20:06Well, my heart tells me that there's no reason for me to wait for what I want.
20:09What I want is to be with Lulu.
20:21Good.
20:21You're here.
20:23Excuse you.
20:24You need to knock.
20:25I could have been with a patient.
20:26Please.
20:30Your brother's in crisis and you must help him.
20:33What's wrong?
20:35I think the trauma of the missing years is finally catching up to him.
20:39He's not acting like himself.
20:41How so?
20:43Well, the one, he snapped at me.
20:46I'll schedule electroshock therapy stat.
20:49And for another, Maxie told him that she wants to stay with Spinelli.
20:54The Nathan we know and love would fight for her.
20:58But he's completely given up.
21:00What do you want me to do about it?
21:03Talk some sense into him.
21:05Make him understand that he belongs with Maxie and James.
21:08That's the last thing I'm going to do.
21:13Is your dad around?
21:15Uh, no, he's on the mainland.
21:17Why?
21:19You already told me that he was threatening Britt's life, but you're short on some of the details.
21:24So if I'm going to stay with you, I need to know more.
21:27Now.
21:28You have to be careful, Lucas.
21:30If Colum or my father know that you know too much, it could put your life in danger.
21:35My life is already in danger, so I have the right to know more of the story.
21:40So tell me, what is happening with Britt and how deeply are you involved?
21:47Jens Sidwell?
21:49Okay, I know.
21:51I know, I know.
21:54I'm sorry, but we stuck it out as long as we could.
21:57I mean, Jens came in and made us this very generous offer.
22:01And deception was really on life support.
22:03We had absolutely no other option.
22:06Okay, this is a stupid question, but couldn't Tracy have helped out?
22:10No, no.
22:12She was very distracted with Monica's death.
22:15And besides, somehow her long-lost sister showed up out of the blue...
22:18I heard something about that.
22:19Anyway, Tracy went out of town.
22:21So we made the deal with Sidwell.
22:27We?
22:28Yeah, we. Brooklyn.
22:31Your mother.
22:32We all signed off on it.
22:36Lucy, you did not give him a share of this talk.
22:40No.
22:40No, of course not.
22:41I would never ever do that.
22:43No.
22:43I just gave him control of raw materials and shipping and distribution.
22:51But it's okay.
22:52Things turned out.
22:53I mean, we're turning the ship around.
22:54It's great.
22:55We're still here.
22:55We are.
22:56Look at us.
22:56We're here.
22:58Uh, what are you doing?
22:59Uh, okay.
23:01I understand why you made the deal with Sidwell, but I am back now and it is...
23:06It's obviously time for me to take charge.
23:13I'm so happy that we're finally talking again.
23:15You have no idea.
23:16Yeah.
23:18And your forgiveness, honey, it means everything.
23:23Well, I'm glad too.
23:24I just...
23:25I missed us.
23:29And in the interest of being transparent, I wanted to be open with you about my relationship
23:34with Isaiah.
23:36Now, I don't know what our future holds, but I'm invested in a future with him.
23:43So, I'm guessing that he's sticking around even though you're having another man's baby?
23:47He is.
23:50And what about you?
23:53How do you feel about my relationship with Isaiah?
23:57I mean, I wanted to hate him.
24:00And I told myself that he was some self-serving jerk who took advantage of you in Dad's marriage.
24:09But the way that he defended you, I saw how much he cares for you.
24:16I care about him too.
24:20Then I have no problem with you being with him.
24:24Just know that we're not gonna bond overnight.
24:30I'm just happy you're open to the idea of him.
24:32I want you to be happy, Mom.
24:36I'm so sorry that it took me so long to realize that.
24:45I got you a text.
24:46What's going on?
24:49That's...
24:49I don't know if you noticed things get a little heated between me and my mom.
24:53Yeah.
24:54Look, all the times I glanced over, things looked a little intense.
24:57Yeah.
24:58I told her that Maxie and I are getting back together.
25:02She got upset and asked me why I'm not putting up a fight.
25:05Oh.
25:07What I didn't tell her is because I'm hoping to end up with you.
25:11And I saw you here and I just wanted to check in.
25:16See if you're still undecided.
25:21I want to give us a chance, Nathan.
25:25I do, but this isn't just about you and me.
25:28I know. I know. It's about Maxie.
25:31And just because she chose Spinelli doesn't mean that she would be okay with the two of us.
25:36She might even see it as a betrayal and...
25:39I wouldn't blame her.
25:42Hi.
25:43I hope I didn't overstep earlier.
25:45No, it's okay.
25:45I have so much to learn and I'm going to need all of your knowledge and support.
25:50Well, what's mine is yours.
25:55You know, while I was talking to Lulu, I realized that certain men probably think they can use me as
26:02their political puppet.
26:04You mean men does?
26:05Yes.
26:06Among others.
26:07But I have my own agenda now.
26:11I'm going to use this unexpected opportunity to make a better life for me and my children.
26:21Nathan, Maxie, and Spinelli are all grown adults with their own hearts and minds.
26:27You can't just swap one out for another.
26:30If Maxie wants to be with Spinelli, we have to respect that.
26:35Even if we see what they can't?
26:37Maxie belongs with Nathan, not Spinelli.
26:41Spinelli cannot possibly make her as happy as my Nathan did.
26:43How do you know that?
26:46Maybe they seem like an unlikely couple from the outside, but maybe Spinelli sees something in her no one else
26:53sees.
26:55Maybe he treats her as an equal.
26:58Maybe he makes her feel safe and loved so that she has the confidence and courage to be the best
27:06version of herself.
27:08Maybe he understands her even better than she understands herself.
27:12I don't know if that's true for Maxie and Spinelli.
27:15But it's clear you have something very special with Jason Morgan.
27:20Britt needs to complete the project or she won't get her medication.
27:24What's her dosage schedule?
27:26She gets daily injections.
27:28And this project is what exactly?
27:32The less you know about that, the better.
27:35Okay.
27:37For now.
27:38But why does Britt need this medication and what is it exactly?
27:43It's an experimental drug that keeps her Huntington symptoms at bay.
27:48Without it, her mobility and cognitive skills could rapidly decline.
27:52And you have gone along with withholding this medication from her.
27:57I'm ashamed to admit it, but yes.
28:00Sometimes I'm even the one who gives her the injections.
28:05And she's only allowed to get it here.
28:08Well, thank you for your honesty.
28:10And I know that's the truth because Britt told me the same thing.
28:13You talked to Britt about this?
28:15That was a really bad idea, Lucas.
28:17You cannot trust her.
28:18Well, she said the same thing about you, but you passed my test and you didn't lie to me.
28:24But you manipulated and played me.
28:26Oh, and how did that feel to you?
28:32I have no room to talk.
28:34I know.
28:35And for what it's worth, I do feel bad about Britt's situation.
28:38Well, then help me get her out of it.
28:41Give us one dose so Britt can have it reverse engineered.
28:46Cullen will know if there's a dosage missing.
28:49I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
28:52I was so happy to get your call.
28:55It's wonderful, wonderful that you're on your feet, up and on your feet.
29:00And I must say, you look quite well.
29:02She looks very well, doesn't she?
29:04Oh, she looks very, very, very, very well.
29:07Thank you, I appreciate that.
29:09Lucy actually was just filling me in on everything you've done for the company in my absence.
29:14Seems like you really kept us going.
29:16Well, yeah, we are bouncing back, slowly but surely.
29:20All thanks to you.
29:22Well, as you know, I was just happy to be of help.
29:26And, oh, perhaps I can bring you up to speed on all things at the Port Charles Grill, my treat.
29:31Oh, wouldn't that be lovely?
29:33Uh, I'm gonna have to pass.
29:35I have a lot on my plate here at work, but you two go right ahead.
29:38Oh, are you sure?
29:40Yeah, definitely.
29:41Uh, but Sidwell, we will need to discuss your exit strategy from the company.
29:49Oh!
29:50Oh, are you okay?
29:52No, no, no, I'm fine, the baby.
29:54It just kicked.
29:55Really?
29:56Wait, wait.
29:57Here.
29:58Hold on, hold on, wait a second.
29:59Yeah.
30:00Oh, my God.
30:01Oh, my God.
30:04Oh, my God.
30:04I got my little, my little brother sisters in there.
30:09Hi.
30:11Hey.
30:13I'm your big sister.
30:17I'm so glad I could share this moment with you.
30:21Me too, Mom.
30:26I refuse to accept your refusal.
30:28We have to find a way to help Britt.
30:31You don't even like her.
30:32Well, maybe not.
30:34But we can't walk away from this situation, leaving Britt at the mercy of Colm and your father.
30:39It would taint any potential of our future happiness.
30:44Marco.
30:45You asked me to stay.
30:49This is the price of me staying.
30:54You're a good man.
30:57And annoyingly stubborn.
30:59I only wish I could say no to you.
31:03So you'll help us.
31:07This will get all three of us killed.
31:10But you're right.
31:12We need to get Britt out of this mess.
31:16I was talking about Maxine Spinelli.
31:18Not me and Jason.
31:20You have never been able to fool your mutter, Britta.
31:23You were describing how Jason makes you feel.
31:26Wrong.
31:27We're not even together.
31:30I may have to give up on Nathan and Maxie.
31:32But not you.
31:34It's clear Jason loves you and you love him.
31:37You two might even be happy together if you would just get out of your own way.
31:43And this thing may turn out to be a good opportunity for Willow.
31:47I mean, if she was as determined as you say to nurse Drew back to health single-handedly.
31:55I just visited him.
31:57As much as I loathed him, I would never have wished this on him.
32:02Yeah, I'm sure.
32:04But Willow will be kept busy at work in Congress so she won't be able to have her life revolve
32:10around Drew and his recovery.
32:12I think a lot of people would benefit from her having a lot less time around him.
32:20It's so good to see you taking control of your life.
32:24It feels good.
32:26Liberating.
32:27I've always felt subservient and subordinate to the men in my life.
32:32I mean, especially with Michael, there was always an imbalance.
32:35He was powerful and wealthy and I was a nobody.
32:39But now I'm...
32:41I'm Congresswoman Willow Kane.
32:43Yes, you are.
32:44And by forging my own path to success, I'm only going to strengthen my position as Wiley and Amelia's mother.
32:53You're not planning on fighting for more custody, are you?
32:55No.
32:56But if Michael tries to push me around, at least now I have the power to push back.
33:01I respect how much your friendship with Maxie means to you.
33:05And I don't want to pressure you into being with me either.
33:09But I'm also not going to let go of hope.
33:12I know what I want.
33:15I want you, Lulu.
33:19I want you too, Nathan.
33:24If any two people deserved a shot at happiness, it's us.
33:29You say what I think you are?
33:34What the hell?
33:36Let's do it.
33:38You sure?
33:41But we cannot do this in secret.
33:45We have to find a way to come clean with Maxie.
33:47So the question is, which one of us is going to tell her?
33:54Maxie, I have no intention of walking away from deception.
34:00I appreciate everything you have done to keep deception afloat in my absence, but I'm back now.
34:05It's my job to handle materials, distribution, shipping.
34:09You do understand that having us both here doing the same job is a bit redundant, right?
34:13Besides, I think our record keeping system is incompatible.
34:18I have no desire to interfere in the way you run this company.
34:22But I do have a contract which allows me to continue in this role for five years.
34:30Now, you could take me to court and void it.
34:33But that would undoubtedly have an effect on deception's tenuous recovery, not to mention possibly your own.
34:43I'm fully recovered.
34:45I'm glad to hear it.
34:47But I strongly urge you to accept the assistance I've already provided and will continue to provide for quite some
34:59time.
35:00Should we head out?
35:02Yes, we should.
35:03Okay.
35:11Enjoy your lunch.
35:15Gents, this discussion is not over.
